OH SNAP

by Angie Blom

I just got some of these new Amy Tangerine papers last weekend and had to use them..

I love the neutral colours and it has a camera.. so I am in!! haha..

I used the wonderful  May SMAK kit of the month for this layout..

I love the arrows and  dots.. and inked them on top of the patterned paper..

using Distressed inks, shabby shutters and black soot.

Now you see the green chevron, and camera paper!! Well I made those this week.

I will have them available for sale digitally so you can print them off . That is once I figure out how to do that all.. haha.. Hoping my brother will help me set it all up in the next couple of weeks ..

 so stayed tuned for some angieblomdesigns digital papers!!

 I printed these 3x5 , because I just needed a small amount..

I have been looking at alot of wonderful video's by Janna Werner, and she used some random thread in her layouts and thought I would give it a try.. ..  I love it.

Blog Hop with Basically Bare.. Authentique goodness!!

Hi everyone, Authentique and Basically Bare are having a hop

today between the main blogs. so make sure you head on over to the

Authentique Blog for more information.

Leave a comment on Both company blogs for a chance at a giveaway!!

Here is the project I made in more detail.

I decided to make a Halloween door hanger.

This owl chipboard shape was perfect for my project.

These Authentique "Enchanted " papers made it easy.

Now for an easy way to add paper to chip board this is what I do.. first take some glue and spread

it everywhere..

Then just place it on the opposite side of the paper you want to use.. let dry, then either

cut it out by hand with small scissors, or use an x-acto  knife ,  I then sand the edges and distress

it with some ink. Today I used some Vintage Photo by Ranger.

Doing this you can get a clean fit for your chipboard.. the distressing makes it all come together,

and gives it a look I like.  I wanted the owl to be whimsical

So I made sure I dressed him up in the Halloween Theme..  first by using different patterned papers,

then adding the hat and moustache. I think he looks CUTE!!

 The "B" I wanted to symbolize my last name initial so I hand cut one out and layered some patterned paper using glue dots.. then added the glitter glue to accent it all. I wanted our family name on there as well so with some of the great letters and words in the "Enchanted" collection I was able to

fit that in.

This was a fun project and I want to show you all the wonderful product used.. Thank You Basically Bare.. and Authentique for making such wonderful product !!

Be sure to check back every day this week for more project inspiration on the Authentique and Basically Bare Blog.! They have an Authentique Prize Pack to give away to one of our lucky commenters (please leave unique comments!) Also, make sure you stop and visit us as well as our friends over at Basically Bare for prizes and lots of wonderful inspiration coming your way! Also, make sure you stop by the Basically Bare Facebook Page and tell them Authentique Paper sent you!

Have a great day,

Hugs,

SMAK this....

Well, Happy mail day today.. I got my

Unity SMAK kit.. another wonderful kit!!

LOVE every image in here...

can't you tell.. I had to ink it up right away!!

{ME}

 my point of view.. August SMAK kit of the month.

 here is my full 8.5 x 11 layout..

using some yummy inks from memento I inked some

of the various stamps and layered it on top of each other..

I love seeing the other stamps underneath those banners.

I just love to just use the stamps and a little bit of patterned paper ( Authentique- curosity)

and some washi tape..

If you are not a member.. go check out the Unity Stamp Company website.. this kit is available until

the 25th of the month.. so sign up if you want to receive it for the special member price.. I tell you. even though I am on the Unity Design team.. I am a proud member of the SMAK kit of the month.. I just love getting my fresh rubber kit in the mail every month like the other members..

have you seen the new August Kit of the Month at

Unity Stamp Company..

it is called

Colors of the Seasons..

a beautiful array of different images and sentiments

for the upcoming season,

from Back to School, Halloween and Christmas.

I just love the mix...

and I have alot of stamps in this one..

here are some cards & tags  with some of them on it..

on this tag.. the large bat is one image I did for the kit.

Color of the Seasons.

Here is another one.. I made the crayons in this one.

for this card I made the frame and the reindeer..

You will find that frame will hold most of the images in this kit.. for this I  made the

poinsettia's , it comes in 2 different sizes so you can layer them on top of each other

 or use them separate.

If you are not a KOM member this would be the perfect kit to start your Unity Journey..

You will use these over and over during the holidays on your cards of layouts.. 

you can find lots more Unity Goodness on the Friends with Flair post today on the
